Opening the black box: in situ imaging of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal structures in soil using synchrotron‐based micro‐CT

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) contribute to plant nutrient and water uptake via their extraradical hyphal networks. However, in situ methodologies to quantify architectural and morphological traits of these networks in soil are largely lacking, limiting our understanding of AMF‐mediated resource transport.

Impact of Irrigation Strategies on Tomato Root Distribution and Rhizosphere Processes in an Organic System

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
Root exploitation of soil heterogeneity and microbially mediated rhizosphere nutrient transformations play critical roles in plant resource uptake. However, how these processes change under water-saving irrigation technologies remains unclear, especially

Partial mycoheterotrophy: a common strategy in arbuscular mycorrhizal plants?

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Proposed autotrophy to mycoheterotrophy continuum among arbuscular mycorrhizal plants. Summary The vast majority of land plants transfer part of the organic carbon they produce by photosynthesis to arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi inside their root cells; the fungi in turn help plants to take up nutrients and water from the soil.

Reproducible hairy root transformation and spot-inoculation methods to study root symbioses of pea

Plant Methods, 2011
Pea has lagged behind other model legumes in the molecular study of nodulation and mycorrhizae-formation because of the difficulty to transform its roots and its poor growth on agar plates.

Mycorrhiza‐induced resistance against Botrytis cinerea in tomato operates through the systemin signalling cascade

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Prosystemin expression in mycorrhizal plants and comparative analysis of prosystemin and mycorrhiza in induced resistance. Summary Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi enhance plant resistance against necrotrophic fungi by priming jasmonic acid‐dependent defences.

Automated Phenotyping Unveils Trait‐Specific Genotypic Variation in Arbuscular Mycorrhiza Responsiveness in Maize (Zea mays)

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM), a symbiosis between land plants and fungi that enhances plant mineral nutrition, has potential for application in sustainable agriculture. The extent to which plants benefit from the symbiosis depends on the plant‐fungal genotype combination, providing opportunities for breeding symbiosis‐optimized crops.

Bark‐associated yeasts and their potential role as tree carbon sink at the treeline of the southern Andes

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
In the southern Andes, Nothofagus pumilio shows elevational decreases in the concentrations of carbon reserves which are the food of bark‐associated yeasts, suggesting that competition for carbohydrates between tree growth and bark‐associated yeasts may cause carbon shortages.

Influence of organic and mycorrhizal fertilization on productivity and quality of strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duch.) in sub-Saharan Africa

European Journal of Horticultural Science
Introduction: A good fertilization practice is necessary to effectively improve the growth, yield and quality of Fragaria × ananassa Duch. in tropical areas.

Compatibilidade simbiótica de fungos micorrízicos arbusculares com espécies arbóreas tropicais Symbiotic compatibility of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi with tropical tree species

Revista Brasileira de Ciência do Solo, 2006
A revegetação com espécies arbóreas é uma estratégia adequada, quando se pretende a reabilitação de terras degradadas. Entretanto, o estabelecimento e o crescimento destas em solos pobres em nutrientes dependem de diversos fatores como a capacidade de ...

Impacts of reclamation approaches on plant establishment in an arid environment during copper mine revegetation

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Revegetation using native vegetation is a commonly used technique to reclaim landscapes degraded by mining activities. Revegetation efforts in the arid Southwestern United States face physical, geochemical, hydrological, and biological challenges unique to drylands.
